Welcome to Roadworthy! This is a chance to show off a Road Crew Judge and allow them to share their experience and wisdom. We provide these profiles to help provide insight into their personality and style, and maybe give up-and-coming Judges some advice on improving their game. The Road Crew theme for 2019 is Road Trip! We want you to get out there and experience the world. Whether it be in real life or online, you can always explore unknown lands and make new friends. Who knows, maybe we’ll put you up on our website. Jump on into the Road Crew program for your chance! This is our first Roadworthy post of 2019! To kick off the year, we travel to the mitten state! …okay, that’s not really what it’s called, but you gotta admit it looks like a mitten. We’re talking about Michigan here, and it’s time to meet Judge Zebarah Shears! Roadworthy: Judge Zebarah What’s your name, where do you live (and game), and how would you describe yourself? I’m Ian Zebarah Shears and I am from Lincoln Park, Mi and I game around the “Downriver” area. (As the various suburbs south of Detroit are called.) I’m an easy-going person with a wacky sense of humor. I find myself laughing all the time and it comes through in my games—whether I wrote the module or not. I have a love of paleontology and that info creeps into nearly every thing I do. Or should I say stomps? How did you first discover DCC? I think it was Free RPG Day 2012. I wasn’t able to make it out to a game store, but my wife was. So I told her to grab anything that looked fun and she took one look at that DCC module and said: “Yup! He’ll love this!” As of “right now,” how many Road Crew games have you run in this or past seasons? I only ran 3 games during the 2017 season as I was still trying to familiarize myself with public play and how to run a fun game on the go. During the 2018 season, I ran 13 games for the road crew at a slew of locations. One of them being the park at the end of my street that has a large covered pavilion and a view of the river. What’s your favorite Road Crew game experience so far? Probably the fact that both last year and...

You now have a setting to kill characters…er, campaign with friends in to your heart’s delight!

Each of these infamous locations include maps, descriptions, Non-player character details, and scenarios—all with in-depth DCC stats and lots of art by Traps artist SS Crompton. The book is available in softcover, hardcover, or—for the most adventurous— a leatherbound edition. Each book is now shipping to stores, and is available at a FLGS near you! We’ve also got it in our online store if you can’t find it nearby. Grimtooth is inviting you over to his place to party!
